Photocopy and Photographic Duplication Services

Reference staff will make photocopies of materials in the library’s collections if condition allows. Copies may be requested by mail or email if full citations are provided. Photographic reproductions may be ordered if specific information is provided on the appropriate order form.

An application for publication of photographs, which includes the Society’s use policy, should be filled out to request permission to publish or display photographs from the Society’s collections.

Please check the library’s current fee schedule for applicable photocopying and use charges. All photocopy and photographic reproduction orders must be paid in advance.

Photocopying requests, photoduplication order forms, and applications for publication of photographs may be sent to library@historydc.org.
